We are a pioneering outreach ministry, and we are seeking people called to be ministers to take on the role as a Pioneering Pastor (shepherd). We are inviting ministers, Bible college students with a definite call on their life and pastors who are looking for a new challenge. We have developed a successful model which we have trialled in Australia, Kenya and Pakistan with great success, and we are now ready to launch into spreading the ministry of Faith Works international through out Australia.

What is a pioneering ministry?

A pioneer minister is someone who has the
necessary vision and gifts to be a missionary
entrepreneur: with the
capacity to form and lead fresh expressions and new forms of church appropriate
to a particular culture. Pioneer
ministers may be ordained or lay (not ordained) and we offer support and
training to assist in this pioneer endeavour
and experience.

The following resources might be useful if
you are thinking about pioneer ministry or if you just want to find out more about our
ministry.

The danger for Pioneers to the normal
way people do church can be viewed as
exotic extras, we are misunderstood as mavericks or seen as re-deployed existing
pastoral roles. Some ministries struggle to identify, train and
deploy Pioneers, lay or ordained because they do not understand who they are
and what they do.

Yet we don't need a few more Pioneers but thousands
more if we are to fulfil our calling as a ministry for the whole nation and not
just in a few locations but many. Across the many churches we have in Australia,
there are huge gaps regarding those we
are connecting with, from a diversity of social, ethnic and age related
backgrounds. As someone said to me
recently, 'We need to put the pedal to the metal! We need
to activate the body of Christ to start doing ministry to the needy and the
lost. So we have to go where they are
and build a community that touches lives.

Our challenge is to move from
pockets of pioneers and pioneering to a
culture of pioneering and pioneers across the whole church at all levels. Moreover, there
are significant signs of hope.

There is an amazing movement of people which has often
gone under the radar and which we need to build on. God is on the move,
and people are responding to Him in many places and ways. However, there are not
enough people who are willing to go and spread the Gospel, to many want to be served instead of serving. My hope and prayer is that Pioneers and pioneering will become more and more the key element to the thriving and flourishing
work of Faith Works International across all of our nation.

So if you would
like to be involved in Pioneering, we
look forward to connecting with you and aligning your skills with ours and through the empowering of the Holy Spirit
we can raise up many pockets of worshipers and community driven ministries across our whole nation to the glory of our Saviour Christ Jesus.
